CONSTRUCTING WETLAND BOARDWALKS AND TRAILS
COMMON QUESTIONS: CONSTRUCTING WETLAND BOARDWALKS AND TRAILS Prepared by: Jon Kusler Association of State WETLAND Managers, Inc. In Cooperation With: The International Institute for WETLAND Science and Public Policy Common Questions: CONSTRUCTING WETLAND BOARDWALKS and TRAILS iPREFACE This guide was prepared for land trusts, watershed councils, federal, state, and local land management agencies, landowners and others interested in WETLAND education, ecotourism or related subjects. The summary is based upon a series of studies and workshops conducted by the Association of State WETLAND Managers (ASWM) including a survey of approximately 100 WETLAND interpretive sites in preparing a publication J. Kusler et. 1993 WETLAND Interpretation and Ecotourism, Association of State WETLAND Managers. Most of these sites involved the construction of a boardwalk and trail. This guide is also based upon three ecotourism workshops conducted by the ASWM and inputs from many individuals who have constructed WETLAND BOARDWALKS and TRAILS over the last decade.
• The boardwalk should bring users into contact with key features of the wetland (see objectives) while, simultaneously avoiding impacts to sensitive plants and animals. • The boardwalk should be located to show varied habitats and biodiversity. For example, if possible, the boardwalk should show shrub, marsh, forested wetland and open water.
